7. Beaches in Hersonissos

There are several more smaller pebbly beaches past the Lychnostatis
Museum, east of Hersonissos.

The photo on the left shows one of them, which used to be a nice sandy beach in the past but in the beginning of the summer in 2004 the sand had disappeared.

This happens occasionally due to the winter storms and it is not unlikely that another storm in the following winter will bring the sand back.

8. Nana Beach Hotel

Nana Hotel main beach

The beach of Nana Beach Hotel is a sandy beach protected
from the wind.

NOTE:

The prices of sunbeds and umbrellas are much higher than average on this beach. Watersports are also available.

Nana Hotel 2nd beach

Next to the main beach of Hotel Nana, there is a smaller beach, which is also sandy but the seabed is full of slippery rocks and the water temperature is unusually low. The reason is the existing fresh water springs.

If you want to drive to the Hotel Nana beach, then drive past Hersonissos, follow the signs to Lichnostatis Museum and keep driving past it. A few meteres before the Nana Beach Hotel there is a narrow concrete road leading to a tavern. Take this road and drive past the tavern to the beach.
